Of all the downloaders, MS sucks. it does not have the
same features as other programs when you are using
another data source other than the ones they provide.
You will have to get excelt o put the data into the
format MS reads. Format the cells in excel to
dd/mm/yyyy or whatever MS wants the data to be. You
can also use a 3rd party data program that will crunch
any data and put it into MS format. You have much more
control over the data. It will create the MS master
file for you.
